Oreodonts are extinct mammals that looked similar to pigs and sheep, but were more closely related to camels. They are the most commonly found fossil in the White River Badlands in South Dakota, and this exceptional specimen from our collection shows an oreodont curled up inside its burrow.

Meet Promerycochoerus! This oreodont was a strange piglike creature, and was likely very social and engaged in intraspecific violence. More information on them coming soon!

Did the oreodont have a delicious creamy filling, accessed by twisting apart its two halves? That could cause extinction.

An oreodont skull (cast) for $2 seems like a pretty sweet deal even for 1866

This adorable oreodont family has had quite a journey. Paul Miller made this mount for the U of Chicago Walker Museum in 1924. They were transferred to the Field when the Walker shut down, then loaned to the BYU museum for 60 years. The oreodonts are now back in Chicago. #FossilFriday
